Summary
Civil society organizations and proponents of disarmament feel they are on the right side of history and morality in advocating for the elimination of nuclear weapons. They see growing support on a global scale to ban the testing and use of nuclear weapons or explosive devices under any circumstances. As this movement gains traction, supporters of the TPNW are mobilizing to hasten the pace of nuclear abolition in an absolutist form. They are actively working to change how individuals and states view nuclear weapons with the ultimate goal of universal disarmament through an active campaign of stigmatization and delegitimization.
